[0066]The cover plate may attach to a face of the first component which faces away from the support. The cover plate may comprise at least one hole in a corresponding position to the at least one hole which is provided on the first component to receive the fixing(s). The cover plate may further comprise an aperture through which the second component can pass

Problems solved by technology

Mounting displays, particularly heavy displays, on hollow walls presents different challenges to mounting displays on solid walls, because the structure and composition of hollow walls mean that they are of limited structural integrity.

Example

[0112]FIG. 6a shows a third embodiment of the present invention in the form of a mount 119 comprising a first component 120, a cover 122 and a boss (not shown). The first component 120 is substantially the same as the first component of the mount 60 shown in FIG. 4, as described above, and the boss (not shown) is identical to the second component of the mount 60. However, in the embodiment of FIG. 6a, a base plate 121 is provided which is curved instead of being rectangular like the base plate 62 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. The cover 122 comprises three holes 124 in a triangular arrangement which correspond to the positions of the fixings 10 (not shown). A central aperture 126 is also provided in the cover 122 through which the boss 84 is slotted to engage with the socket 82 on the first component 120. The side walls of the holes 124 and aperture 126 are sloped, to help guide components more easily through the holes, and to improve the appearance of the mount 60. A notch 128 is also pro...

Abstract

A mount for a flat panel display comprises a substantially flat first component having a coupling for attachment to the flat panel display, and a plurality of spaced apart fixings configured for securing the first component to an upright support so as to maximise the vertical load through the support and to minimise the horizontal load on the support. Each fixing comprises a threaded shaft, a reconfigurable anchor mounted on the shaft and a plug arranged to substantially fill a fixing hole provided through the support.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to a mount for a flat panel display. The mount comprises fixings which are particularly useful for fixing items to a plasterboard wall.BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION[0002]With the increase in size and weight of flat panel displays there is an increasing need for mounts which are secure and easy to use. There is also a need to mount displays on different types of wall, including hollow interior walls made of plasterboard and the like. Mounting displays, particularly heavy displays, on hollow walls presents different challenges to mounting displays on solid walls, because the structure and composition of hollow walls mean that they are of limited structural integrity.[0003]A variety of fixings have been developed for supporting loads on hollow walls. Hollow wall fixings generally work by having an anchor comprising expandable arms (“expansion” type) or wings (“toggle” type). The anchor is passed through a hole in the wall in a folded or ...
